Verification of Authenticity of Electors’ Signatures in Signature Lists on Elections of Deputies
District and territorial electoral commissions shall verify authenticity of electors’ signatures. In this case, at least 20 per cent of the number of electors’ signatures in the signature lists from the number of signatures required for registration of a candidate for deputy must be verified.
Authenticity of electors’ signatures in signature lists on elections of deputies shall be verified according to the procedure provided for by parts thirteen, fourteen and fifteen of Article 61 of this Code. Signatures of electors who do not live in the territory of the electoral district shall also be considered as inauthentic.
If the number of inauthentic electors’ signatures as found out during verification constituted more than 15 per cent of the number if signatures verified, another 15 per cent of electors signatures from the number of signatures required for registration of a candidate for deputies shall be verified.
In case when the summary number of inauthentic electors’ signatures found during verifications constitutes more than 15 per cent of the total number of the signatures verified in the signature lists, a further verification of the signatures in the signature lists shall be terminated.
The district and territorial electoral commissions shall make records on the results of verification of authenticity of electors’ signatures in the signature lists.
